Altered Images

Profile:New-wave group formed in Glasgow, 1979. Originally comprising Clare Grogan (vocals), Tony McDaid (guitar), John McElhone (bass), Jim McIven (guitar / keyboards) and Michael Anderson (drums), they soon adopted synthpop stylings under the influence of producers including Martin Rushent and Mike Chapman. The group split in 1983 (Anderson and McIven had already left the previous year). Clare (who had already appeared in the hit film "Gregory's Girl" in 1980) is now an actress under the name CP Grogan.
Members:Clare Grogan, Gerard "Caesar" McNulty, Jim McKinven, Johnny McElhone, Stephen Lironi, Tich Anderson, Tony McDaid
